...and now I'm at loose ends
Feb. 22nd, 2005 10:39 pmMy evenings are free again, and I'm free of the Papers of Doom (which aren't pretty but are finished, so I'll never speak of them again). Hooray!
Now what?
This, right here, is the part that I hate: feeling like a slacker for wanting to take time just to do schoolwork, and maybe avoid the extra-curriculars for awhile. I'm still on the English Student Board, which means one night every two weeks or so, I have to meet with a bunch of people I really like and gossip about the English faculty over dinner. That's really my only "club"-type activity, though. Tuesday film screenings at Smith (simply too tired to make it tonight; I'll watch the film Thursday after class) will take up a lot of time -- but again, it's one night a week.
As much as it sounds like I'm pining for something else to do, it's more that I feel an obligation to be busier, rather than actually wanting to be. I can't help thinking that it would be really, really nice to have most of my evenings free for homework, socializing, and possibly being able to attend all those events and lectures and things that I never have time for.
The trick will be having more study time without feeling like I do nothing but homework. We'll see how that one goes. For now...tomorrow's reading is done, so I'm off to organize my bookcase.
EDIT: And by 'organize my bookcase,' I clearly meant 'go make a Cyd Charisse icon.' Because they're certainly equally productive.
